A group of skiers making their way down the classic Chamonix, France off-piste descent, The Vallee Blanche, got stuck in deep snow and their progress came to a halt as they trudged to the next appreciable pitch to continue down the incredible glacial terrain.
Their buddy took advantage of their efforts and managed to keep up enough speed using their tracks to blow past them and ski away without the need to boot pack. While his close proximity blow by would be considered poor etiquette amongst strangers, his friends celebrated his accomplishment with hoots and hollers and joined him to harvest fresh turns further down the slope.
He owes them beers for sure but it was fully worth it. Gotta love ski buddies!
